Screengrab from NASA's YouTube feed showing the mission control room, with an overlaid image of the spacecraft. At the bottom left are captions from the middle of a sentence reading "vehicle will enter the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of".

Another cool thing about the Artemis II mission is the care that NASA has shown with captions throughout the trip. They're edited live captions, not just automatic captions that always have typos and incorrect words. #a11y

Your favorite emoji might not mean what you think. 🚩
To a screen reader, this isn’t a "toxic trait" warning; it’s just a "triangular flag on post."

It mostly punts accessibility, partly from misunderstanding.

I filed three issues so far:

While we're hanging out in the hotel so my wife can work for the day, I took the opportunity to finish up a big big release for the Recommendinator bumping it up to 0.6.0. It doesn't change much from a visual or usage perspective, but I switched it completely from single file html/css/js to […]

I don't know why the image didn't go through this time. This is today's @comicss.art game. It's 4Connect (similar to NYT's Connections) and all the boxes are ARIA roles, can you group them together correctly?

Having seen Warhammer Survivors revealed and been able to play Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor thanks to an #accessibility mod... I would absolutely love to be able to play the former with native accessibility!
I'd be so glad to help make that happen to, if there's interest and a way to do so! #A11Y

And that’s ESPECIALLY design, god knows the amount of “it hurts creativity” arguments I had in the before time about #a11y

This was a really great read. Highly recommended! gbbns.co/journal/acce...

The EAA has made it difficult to ignore #a11y issues. But the fix hasn't been what it needs to be. The solution is treating frontend as a speciality again. AI still can't replace human knowledge, and can break things faster.

I included one (1) best practice recommendation in the audit. They followed my best practice, but made a mistake in the implementation. So now they have an accessibility failure instead.

I am very reluctant putting best practices into audits exactly for that reason: Teams work on fixing the […]

Designing for people who are blind - TetraLogical When designing products and services, we often think in terms of their visual appearance. However, some people use digital content without being able to see it. This means we need to design interfaces that remain understandable, navigable, and controllable even when people are unable to perceive layout, colour, and spatial clues. By doing so, we ensure designs provide a comparable experience so that people who are blind can complete tasks in a way that suits their needs without undermining the quality of the content.

Two recent posts from Tetra’s ‘designing for…’ series:

How do I make a flowchart accessible? | Digital Accessibility Step 1: Design your flowchart with accessibility in mind. Ensure that your flowchart has accessible color pairings. The Berkeley Brand site has a great color combination tool that will show you all accessible color pairings that also follow university brand colors. Colors - UC Berkeley Brand Don’t use color alone to show meaning. If you are using color to indicate a change in

Accessible flowcharts aren't optional, they're inclusive design in action. UC Berkeley's guidance is clear: use accessible color pairings, never rely on color alone & always provide a long text description.
